1) Start with structured intake (this is the wedge)
Generic “resume checkers” fail because they don’t have enough facts. A good rewrite needs the missing context: what you actually achieved, numbers you can defend, what you want to emphasize/de-emphasize, and your constraints (no embellishment).
- Target role + seniority
- Target country / market (language conventions differ)
- Your top achievements (with numbers or defensible ranges)
- Skills you truly have (no wishlist skills)
- What to emphasize / what to remove
2) Match to a specific job description
Break the job post into requirements and map proof for each must-have. The job’s phrasing matters—mirror language honestly so the recruiter sees alignment quickly.
Use the Job Description Matcher for the framework.
3) Rewrite bullets into evidence
Most bullets are tasks. Strong bullets are evidence. Use: Action + Scope + Tools + Outcome.
Use the Bullet Point Rewriter for before/after patterns.
4) Keyword/themes (without stuffing)
Keywords should show up where they’re proven: in bullets. A skills list helps scanning, but bullets are where the trust is built.
Use the Keyword Scanner and the keywords & job match guide.
5) ATS readability is table stakes
Don’t sabotage parsing. Keep formatting simple, headings standard, and structure consistent.
Use the ATS Checker and the formatting checklist.
